Dear devotees,
Dandavats pranams.

Sunday 4th. 2010.

This is just a small repot on HH Jayapataka Swami Gurumaharaja’s activities
in Atlanta.

As you know GM had to go to Atlanta to finish some paper work and have the
association of the devotees.

His holiness is leaving tomorrow back to Los Angeles to continue with his
treatment.

As normal Gurumaharaja has his daily routine with treatments in the gym,
swimming pool etc, but this time in Atlanta had the opportunity to visit
devotees in their houses at night, holding special Namahatta programs till
late night. Last Wednesday he had a special meeting with devotees who
couldn’t make it to Los Angles for Vyasapuja, They gave special homage’s and
was very intimate gathering. They came from New Talavan and New Orleans.
Yesterday Saturday there was a very special program called Srila
Prabhupada’s night with the assistance of more than 100 devotees who came to
remember Srila Prabhuapda’s pastimes. HH JPS gave a very special discourse
on this occasion and some SP’s lilas.

Dear devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

The last weekend around 150 disciples gathered in LA to celebrate the Vyasa
Puja of their beloved spiritual master, His Holiness Srila Jayapataka Swami
Maharaja.
On Thursday evening, March 25th, the adivas ceremony was observed in the big
prasadam hall. Guru Maharaja was seated on the beautifuly decorated
asana/chair and male devotees were offering him the auspicious objects,
which were offered to salagram and Gopal Deities, Tulasi Devi and earth,
while the chanting of vedic mantras was going on. After that Guru Maharaja
distributed prasadam to all the assembled devotees and greeted them. It was
very sweet and intimate ceremony where everyone was able to be near Guru
Maharaja’s lotus feet and male devotees were able to perform this vedic
ritual personaly to Guru Maharaja. Before that Guru Maharaja gave a speech
and explained how this adivas ceremony is preparing all the participants for
the important event that will take place the next day, in this case the
Vyasa Puja of Sri Guru, which is one of the most important events in the
life of a disciple.
